Course objectives
Basic laboratory course in inorganic preparative chemistry. Covers syntheses, properties and structures of simple inorganic compounds, such as oxides, halides and other salts, acids and their functional derivatives, and complexes. At the end of the course students should be able to explain the principles that underpin selected synthetic processes, and why special techniques are required for their preparation.

Teaching methods
Laboratory course covers preparations of selected inorganic compounds and keeping of the lab notebook. Laboratory course runs on a weekly basis. In the first part of the class period, a general topic of the preparation of some basic class of inorganic comounds is discussed. Regular tests of students knowledge by short written tests are carried out at the beginning of the class. Students are required to present all equations, calculations, and procedure schemes in their laboratory notebooks before the class onset. Missed classes must be made up by the end of semester.
Assessment methods
The course is completed by graded credits. Quality of laboratory notebook, yields of syntheses, and purity of products are evaluated and graded. Regular tests of students knowledge by short written tests and questions.
